It's nearly the end of November, and I'm still in Australia. Better get a move on!!
Departing for Darwin.

A brief re-fuel, and on we go. Heading for East Timor, WPDB. A shorter hop, but the trip to WSSL can't be done in two hops with only 930nm range in the KingAir 350, so three hops from Darwin it is.

The Duenna server went offline briefly (or at least I lost connection to it), so the map image didn't display, and I lost online tracking. Duenna recorded fine though, and saved the jpg/txt files.

Another quick re-fuel, and on again. Heading for WAOI (as long as I don't hit bad headwinds, in which case I'll be going somewhat shorter).

Down safe at WAOI (or WRBI in Duenna). I've had light tailwinds since Darwin, so that was another reasonably fast leg. It won't last much longer...

Down safe at WSSL, Singapore Selatar.
As I thought, the tailwinds have gone, so that was a little slower. No significant weather to contend with though, and I managed to pick out the right airfield on arrival at Singapore.

Down safe at Cook Island, VYCI. The headwinds are getting stronger, so that hop wasn't so fast.
This looks like a great place to stop for the day, so that's it till tomorrow. Nearly half way back to England, so still plenty of flying to be done over the weekend...!

I've got my strategy wrong by picking the Beech KingAir 350, and it's limited range (around 930nm). I'm having to stop too frequently, compared to an aircraft that has 1200nm range. No problem in the handicap race, but it's hurting me in the speed race. I should have flown my Cessna 414, but unfortunately I didn't spend too long thinking about which aircraft to pick for the return flight (about 10 seconds!).
Ah well, I'll know for next time...

I'd prefer to go direct to VIAL, but at 940nm that's 10nm further than the nominal range of the KingAir 350, so too risky.
Departing for VEBS.
